AI 341 - Ethics And Arguments

Institution:

DePaul University

Subject:

Description:

This course introduces the main traditions in ethical thinking and provides students with moral reasoning skills to take and defend ethical positions on concrete issues. Students will examine various traditional bases for morality, among them virtue, duty, rights, contract, utility, and religion. They will learn to distinguish ethical from other values, and be able to justify the distinction. But in a world of action, merely knowing what is ethical is not enough. Students will select current ethical issues of personal interest, developing theory-based strategies for addressing those issues in a morally responsible way. If this course is offered as a five week section, it will be for only AL-5. Pre-1999 Competencies: AL-5, HC-4, WW. Faculty: Patrick J. Keleher, Jr.
